ELLKAY chosen as new technical service provider for CommonWell Health Alliance
ELLKAY announced that CommonWell Health Alliance has selected ELLKAY as its new Technical Service Provider to support data exchange to 200 million+ patients across its nationwide network of over 34,000 provider organizations. Through its technology platforms and solutions, ELLKAY will help the CommonWell Health Alliance support its current needs along with enabling its commitment to network expansion and service enhancements in preparation for the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA) and the next phase of interoperability.
ELLKAY will provide the interoperability infrastructure across CommonWell's membership to support the current requirements and for future expansion. TEFCA, which will be made up of Qualified Health Information Networks (QHINs), is a common set of principles, terms, and conditions designed to take the nationwide exchange of electronic health information to the next level. The ELLKAY/CommonWell solution will benefit CommonWell members and Service Adopters by simplifying the onboarding process for health IT vendors and their clients. In addition, this partnership will enable document exchange, document query, eMPI, RLS, and organization directory solutions.
CommonWell Health Alliance recently hit a major milestone, surpassing 200 million individuals in its nationwide network, sharing electronic health data for nearly 62% of the total US population based on 2023 US Census Bureau estimates.
